In a large saucepan, heat oil and fry curry paste for 1 minute. Add sugar, lemon juice and cook for a minute. Add baby marrow, cauliflower and cook.

Add tomato puree, water, chickpeas and season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add spinach and heat until just wilted.

This dish tastes really good with Spekko Pure Basmati Aromatic Indian Rice.

About Tumelo
Tumelo knew a career in food was her destiny from a young age.

With home economics as her main subject in matric, she later earned B-Technology in Food Service Management at the Pretoria Technikon. She also holds a Diploma in Marketing Management from Varsity College.

Working in various restaurants and in catering companies, Tumelo eventually ended up at True Love in 2003, stepping in behind legend Dorah Sithole as food assistant.

In 2007 Tumelo spread her wings and joined Woolworths as their Store Food Manager, but soon returned to True Love as Food Editor when Dorah became editor of the magazine.

“I love shopping for fresh produce only when time permits at Evergreen Housewives market (Pta West), Boeremark in Silverton and would pop- in occasionally at the Irene Village Market and for convenience I love going to The Food Lovers Market in Centurion as they have everything under one roof. I do the main groceries from Pick N Pay Hypers, and pop into Woolworths weekly for their lettuce, cucumber and peppers ‘a must as they are fresh and can last for up to two weeks”.
